Testing is an exciting opportunity for skaters to showcase their skills and advance in their skating journey. At the Skating Club of Huntsville, we are proud to offer test sessions as one of the many benefits of being a club member.

Member Benefits for Testing

  • Club Members: As a valued member of the Skating Club of Huntsville, you have the ability to test at our club pricing, making it more accessible for skaters to progress in their skating levels.

  • HSSTA Aspire Members: We are excited to extend club pricing for test sessions to the Huntsville Skating School and Training Academy (HSSTA) Aspire members as well, providing a great opportunity for skaters to challenge themselves and grow in the sport.  Testing level limits for Aspire exist and are outlined in the U.S. Figure Skating Rulebook (Section MR 20.22).  To register for a test or competition and receive member pricing, Aspire members should select the “HSSTA Aspire Program” option in the reciprocal list within the EntryEeze Membership System during the sign-up process.

NOTE: Learn to Skate USA members are not eligible to participate in the U.S. Figure Skating test structure as outlined in the U.S. Figure Skating Rulebook (Section MR 30.32).

Upcoming Test Sessions

Information about upcoming test sessions can be found on the Events Page. Be sure to check regularly for new test dates.  Registration for testing is handled through the EntryEeze Membership System.

Virtual Testing

We are pleased to offer Virtual Testing as a convenient option for skaters. Virtual test sessions will be held continually on a monthly basis, allowing skaters to participate from the comfort of their own rink. This flexible option ensures that everyone has the opportunity to advance in their skating journey regardless of location. 

Registration for virtual testing is handled for Skating Club of Huntsville members via the EntryEeze Membership System; non-members can register by searching for our test session using the Entryeeze Test Session Search with our zip code (“35801”).  Registration for virtual testing usually opens up in the middle of the month and concludes at the end of the month.
